I know there are people out there who fly around on private jets. Tall women in tight suits serve them sushi and caviar and ice cold martinis in crystal stemware. The bathrooms are bigger than a food cupboard and they don’t smell like urine with a splash of disinfectant. I bet those people even have beds [...]

Paper and Pen
I have a confession to make, I love paper. Paper in books, paper in boxes, I even love lined paper in school notebooks. If given the choice between typing something and writing something, I’ll most likely choose pen to pad. My favorite colored ink is blue (in case you were wondering), but I also love [...]

Healthy Choices
I came home yesterday and was treated to a full dinner sitting on the stove. Beside it was a note reading ‘Dogs Are Fed.’ I looked at my two dogs…had they done this?
Steamed broccoli, baked brussel sprouts, and teriyaki chicken; with each bite it became more and more delicious. On the bonus side, it was healthy. [...]

Birds, Pigs, and Other Farmyard Killers
First it was the Bird Flu. People scrambled to get vaccines, to stock up on cures that might just save their lives. It was the killer that was going to get us all. Bird Flu, <gasp!>, it was the next big epidemic. If it had been a terrorist warning, it would’ve been Code Orange or Red [...]

The Mysterious Millionaire
Victor Vargas. Victor Vargas from Venezuela. Victor Vargas from Venezuela owns Lechuza Caracas, a polo team that just had 21 of its beautiful horses drop dead at the U.S. Open polo tournament in Wellington, Florida; spectators got much more than they bargained for. Authorities are investigating who killed the animals and in the interim, the [...]

Some Days It’s Just Not Worth Getting Out of Bed (without an Hermes belt to put on)
Wednesday. And I wake up to the construction crew from hell. They’re moving machinery that’s so big and loud it feels as if it’s right there in the bedroom with me. BeepBeepBeep.
At least it’s cool in my bedroom, which is more than I can say for the last three days. Los Angeles has been like [...]

Is That You, Hank?
Hank the Tank turns 3 months old this week and I can barely recognize him! A whopping 24 pounds, our baby has gained 10 pounds since we brought him home 3 1/2 weeks ago. As for inches, well I’m not sure, but he’s sprouting like a weed. His little legs are becoming like tree trunks.
Everyday [...]

A Vintners Festival and A Nap
On Saturday Sam and I stumbled upon a Vintners festival in San Ynez, just north of Santa Barbara. Now for those of you who don’t know, the valley, otherwise known as California’s Central Valley, is a veritable cornucopia of wineries and vineyards. Yum.
The Vintners festival was such that, with the price of an admission ticket, one [...]

Two Dummies, a Priest, and a Rabbi Walked Into a Wedding Bar…
Yesterday I chipped into the great, big iceberg we locals like to call ‘The Wedding Biz.’ It’s a ship wrecker for sure. Miles and miles of frozen, arctic ice that new brides must traverse on a daily basis. Only the strongest survive…thank God I never go anywhere without my axe and an ever versatile, Swiss army [...]
